Chris Pontius says he's gotten up close and personal with silverback gorillas before ... and, if he were a bettin' man, he's putting his money on one gorilla to take down 100 dudes.

00:00100 men versus one silverback gorilla is trending, okay?
00:08Wow.
00:09Everyone has opinions.
00:10What's the real?
00:11You know what?
00:12On Wild Boys, Steve-O and I took an adventure into the jungles of Rwanda,
00:17and we got up close with some silverback gorillas.
00:20Silverback gorilla will eat anyone alive.
00:23Yeah, each silverback gorilla must have the strength of 20, maybe 40 men.
00:29Right, right, right.
00:30Yeah, I'd give it to the gorilla, hands down.
00:33Is there no way?
00:34Because 100 guys, there has to be a front line, right?
00:38The front line attempts to break through and then followed by multiple,
00:44but you've got 100 guys.
00:46You know what?
00:47I think that 100 men would trample each other in fear.
00:49The ones that weren't taken by the gorilla would be trampled by the scared other men.
00:53Yeah, you'd eat them alive.
00:55I mean, they're normally gentle creatures.
00:57Yeah, right, right.
00:59But when threatened, you never know.
01:00Right.
01:01Oh, my God.
01:02Too much power.
01:03Too much power.
01:04Too much speed.
01:05What was it like being so close?
01:07It was awesome.
01:08We followed the silverback into the thickets, into this bamboo cave almost.
01:14And it was awesome until the little baby got curious about us.
01:18And when the baby came close to us, we were kind of like, go away, go away.
01:21Because we know that that would make the silverback uncomfortable.
01:23Yeah.
01:24And it made him uneasy.
01:25And you're supposed to make this noise.
01:27Because you go, mm, mm.
01:28And that means like, everything's cool.
01:30You're the boss.
01:31You're in charge.
01:32But then the baby wouldn't go away.
01:34And so he charged us.
01:35And luckily it was just a mock charge.
01:37But man, it was scary.
01:38Oh, my God.
01:39I loved it though.
01:40See, where can we see you next?
01:42We're going to Norway to film an adventure deep into the country to get to the heart of black metal.
01:47Yeah.
01:48Yeah.
01:49I love it.
